Hi All!

I've just cleaned out the house...no more gluten here! I read somewhere (of course I don't remember where) that some cheeses are started with something that can have gluten in it?! Which cheeses are gluten-free? Which cheeses are not? How do I know?

1000 thanks!

Some blue cheeses can be started with a gluten starter, and some specialty cheeses could be washed with a beer glaze. Most other cheeses should be OK..but check your cream cheese, cottage cheese, and sour cream for additives. Some brands are adding fillers/thickeners that shouldn't be in a good quality product.

More label reading I'm afraid.... :blink:

Congratulations on getting rid of the old..and having a nice safe, supply of goodies.

It has been determined that even if a gluten grain is used as a starter for the mold, blue cheese is gluten-free. Various reputable sources list cheese as gluten-free, without qualification. One of them is the Canadian Celiac Association.

Sour cream is off-topic, but yes, some occasionally have a non-dairy ingredient (light versions).

I havent seen normal cheese with gluten in it, but I ran into a Stout Irish cheese at Earth Fare the other day that probably contained gluten since it was made with beer. Sometimes cheese sauces, including fondu cheese, can have added beer for flavor.

Awesome! Thank you all! The girls had their endoscopies yesterday... My girlfriends are coming over tonight for a debrief and WINE and CHEESE and of course rice crackers! And I love blue cheese, glad to hear it's going to have a space in our gluten-free house! Momma needs some relaxing for a night!!!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.
